The beacons are lit, @osuosl calls for aid: 🚨 Oregon State University Open Source Lab will shut down this year if funding is not met. 🚨

Among countless other open source projects, OSL supports Rocky Linux by hosting our ppc64le and s390x build environments.

Please consider donating to #OSUOSL. Talk to your organizations about the open source software they depend on that in turn depends on OSL, and ask them to consider donating.
